Asylum speakers say they have been spat at after arriving in the UK. Two weeks ago, Mohamed, from Kurdistan, was transferred to a new accommodation centre between Long Eaton and Sandiacre. Mohamed and almost 400 asylum seekers have been housed at the Novotel and Best Western hotels, in Bostocks Lane.
During a Sandiacre Parish Council meeting, on Tuesday, November 1, residents spoke about their "fear" over gangs of "single men" being housed at the hotels reports Derbyshire Live. However, Mohamed explained that he and other asylum seekers have faced difficulties from residents and that they do not want to cause any problems.
